Eggs are a versatile ingredient and can be eating at any meal. Egg yolks are a great first food for a baby over 6 months, providing protein and many other vitamins and minerals. Recipes which include eggs are numerous and once a baby is able to eat egg whites as well, the diversity becomes even greater!

The following recipe for scrambled eggs with onion and cheese is a great way to start the day, for a baby entering the weaning phase and for mama too! Packed with energy and flavour, it can be served for any meal of the day provided baby has already been given the green light to eat egg whites.

Ingredients

2 large eggs

2 T whole milk

1/2 small onion, diced

1 T wheat germ
